An hour alone observing a new generation

This was a bit weird.. I travelled back 10 years to when I was in middle school...

The setting: City stars, costa coffee, the one next to the cinema... And it was before 6pm when people were coming out of the movies... And it seems that middle school just finished their exams and are going out... The whole floor was full of kids aging between 12 and 15 yrs... I couldnt resist but watch every group of girls and boys walking and talking..

Girls are so dressed up... With all the flittery and goldish stuff... I can see the wide gold belt worn by every girl walking by.. And the tight tops and leggings... The curly hair, and their checking out the girls and guy walking beside them... Why are they all dressed up although they are only going to the movies?!?!?! Was I like them when I was their age? I remember being all tomboy.. wearing jeans and long sleeved T's coz I was veiled... I remember never being concerned with accessories or make-up... or even doing my eye brows... I basically wasnt that girly back then... I remember that the first time I did my eyebrows was in high school

Anyway, then came a group of guys... And it turns out they were fighting for some reason I couldnt figure out... They were 2 groups and hitting each other... I suddenly remembered when the guy I admired back in high school was in a fight and was hit in his eye... and that I cried my eyes out coz I was worried about him....

Suddenly, 4 HUGE men appeared in the scene, in black suits and holding those walkie-talkie things, probably coming to end the fight... And all the kids ran away and the fight was over... What amazed me is that the guy who was fighting was the smallest in size... He was so short and thin, but had a loud voice... And was the "Cool" kinda guy having his pants so low that u can see his underwear...

Am I growing old or is it that I didnt live my childhood? I dont remember being like those kids.. And I dont recall so concerned with the opposite sex or wearing so much colors and make-up... Generations change dramatically... And with them, behavior and attitudes change... I find myself so naiive compared to my sis who is 7 yrs younger... or my bro who is 12 yrs younger... I wonder weather this is so because I am the eldest, or because I belong to a totally different generation...

Wow.. Here comes the "banana"... I mean the chick... A lady wearing everything a guy would love to see... so damn tight and so damn sexy... but sexy in a bitchy way.... And I can see all the eyes of men AND women in Costa watching her walk to the cinema...

I go back to my own generation now before I lose my mind...
